Dear flist:
I love you all, but there is some crap going on that is taking away my attention. Some of it is family related and some of it is general laziness and apathy. I do try to catch up when I can -- today I got to skip-920 before I just couldn't bear to go back any more.
With prompting from
shoemaster, I have set up a few reading filters. Hopefully that helps.

Bush calls for ban on gay marriage. US President George W Bush has called for a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriages.
Okay, look, I kind of maybe understand how you can't say yes to gay marriage, but a ban on gay marriage without offering a sufficient? Is fucking bullshit. It's not like gays getting married is some sort of threat to national security and, honestly, don't you have other things to be worried about? Like, oh, I don't know, all those people dying in Iraq?! Also, way to distract from important news, such as the civilian massacre in Iraq. How can people support this man? Seriously, how?! To me, at this point, it's not even about Republicans or Democrats -- it's that Bush is a giant tool and has no idea what is coming out of his mouth. The biggest joke in the whole article is this quote:
Mr Bush said: "Ages of experience have taught us that the commitment of a husband and a wife to love and to serve one another promotes the welfare of children and the stability of society."
Right. Because all man/woman marriages work out so well. [/sarcasm]
To ease the burn, here is a highly amusing clip of Geek-Week interviewing Joss Whedon pretending to be in a Joss Whedon costume. Oh Joss, I love you.

Date: 2006-06-05 12:13 pm (UTC)If he had just said 'look huge, flying pig!!!!' it wouldn't have been half as obvious. Because that is pretty much all there is to trying to constitutionally ban gay marriage. I feel nauseated right about now.
I think I'd rather have gay parents than the majority of straight ones thanks. At least they don't generally walk into it all higgeldy piggedly and half cocked.
*burns with anger*
